 The config file can be added to a mounted volume with its location passed in the SIP_CONFIG_FILE env var, or its body can be passed in the SIP_CONFIG_BODY env var.
 
+#### Codecs
+
+PCMU, PCMA, G722, and DTMF are negotiated by default. Opus is **disabled by default** - set `enable_opus: true` to offer it. Validate interoperability with your SIP infrastructure before enabling in production.
+
+When enabled, Opus (`opus/48000/2`, 48 kHz mono) is preferred over G722 and G711. Peers that do not support Opus fall back to G722, then G711 transparently.
